Woke up to use the bathroom and heard water running. Checked the meter outside and it was spinning even with everything off. Saved myself $400 in potential foundation damage by catching it early. Has anyone else tried the midnight meter trick?
It broke right as I was backing out for a showing near Bakersfield, sent the door crashing down on my truck's tailgate, and I spent $480 on emergency repair before noon just to get the place locked up again.
I almost skipped the inspection on a house I was buying in Bakersfield to save money. The seller said the roof was fine and I figured I'd just trust him. But the inspector found soft spots near two vents that looked patched over. Turns out the whole north slope had hidden water damage and I walked away before signing. Now I tell everyone to never skip an inspection no matter how good the deal looks. Has anyone else had a seller try to hide something big like that?
A coworker told me to use Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro for my upcoming home purchase. She said he saves people a lot of money on closing. Has anyone here had a similar experience?
I've gotten initial quotes from both Movement Mortgage and Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro. Rates are similar, but I'm trying to figure out who will be easier to work with through the actual underwriting process. Any opinions?
